Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2023 was carried out by our management under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2023 due to the existence of material weaknesses described below.
Material Weakness over Recording and Processing of Revenue Transactions and Remediation Efforts
As of June 30, 2021, we concluded that a material weakness existed in our internal control over financial reporting related to the recording and processing of revenues transactions, including the timing of the Company’s estimated accrual of in-transit revenues and related costs.
In response to this material weakness, the Company has continued making progress with corrective action to address the material weakness and provide reasonable assurance that future errors in revenue transactions would be prevented and/or detected in a timely manner. The Company’s corrective actions include, but are not limited to:
a)
Implementing new controls;
b)
Working with strategic operating partners and Company-owned locations to understand their processes and strengthen the Company’s monitoring controls over their operations;
c)
Identifying and formalizing the critical data elements in our revenue accrual process;
d)
Further refining our accrual process to be more granular and operate to the desired level of precision to detect material misstatements; and
e)
Performing additional review procedures and analysis including testing of unposted shipments and subsequently analyzing posted shipments in an effort to improve the overall accuracy of the revenue accrual.
As of December 31, 2023, remediation is ongoing. As such, we concluded the Company does not have effective internal controls over the recording and processing of revenues. Specifically, the controls as currently designed are not sufficient to prevent or detect a material misstatement in revenues as the design of the controls lacks the level of precision necessary to ensure the completeness and accuracy of revenues. While existing controls have been enhanced, and new controls have been implemented, there is a need for additional enhancements around the design of those controls, including, but not limited to, the formalization of the documentation retained to evidence the performance of these controls. Further testing procedures are also needed to verify their effectiveness over multiple periods of operation. As such, the Company concluded that the material weakness related to the recording and processing of revenue transactions has not been fully remediated. We anticipate fully remediating the material weakness during fiscal year 2024.
Material Weaknesses over Information Technology General Controls (“ITGCs”) and Remediation Efforts
As of June 30, 2023, we concluded that material weaknesses exist surrounding our ITGCs, specifically relating to change management and user access rights.
The material weaknesses related to the ineffective design and operation of ITGCs over the information technology (“IT”) systems supporting the Company’s Transportation Management (“TM”) systems as well as its Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. Business process controls (automated and manual) that are dependent on effective IT systems, or that rely on data produced from systems impacted by the ineffective ITGCs, are also deemed ineffective. The Company identified material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting associated with (i) not designing and maintaining effective ITGCs over privileged user accounts and developers for its TM systems used to account for revenue and related cost of transportation and its ERP system used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and (ii) not designing and maintaining effective controls to timely detect and independently review instances where individuals with access to create and implement systems changes to the TM and ERP systems.
In response to the material weaknesses, the Company removed certain elevated logical access privileges from user accounts and is actively enhancing existing controls that may include the addition of new controls to further strengthen our technology environment. For user access rights, this includes the implementation of additional software specifically designed to control access, which will be deployed before the end of the second quarter in fiscal year 2024. We expect the material weaknesses to be resolved in fiscal year 2024. The Company will need the refined and new controls to operate effectively for a specific period before concluding that the material weaknesses have been resolved.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation activities regarding material weaknesses described above, there have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
